A. Alfred Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building Vivarium Expansion

Project DescriptionThe approximately 594,000-gross-square-foot A. Alfred Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building (BSRB) was built in 2005 and included approximately 34,500 gross square feet of shelled space for futureresearch support needs. Approximately 7,000 gross square feet of the shelled space was previously finishedin 2006 to create an animal imaging facility. The Medical School will finish approximately 20,000 gross squarefeet of the remaining shelled space to expand the existing vivarium to address current and forecasted growthand to accommodate the relocation of germ-free vivarium functions from the Life Sciences Institute to BSRB.

Energy Efficiency MeasuresVivarium (animal) rooms utilize an animal housing system that pipes supply air directly to each rodentcage. This ventilation systems requires significantly less air than a traditional room-supplied system.It will also maintain a more constant temperature for the animals and decrease the noise level of theventilation system (a benefit for both animals and staff). Ganging multiple ventilated racks on a singleair valve also reduced the initial cost to install the ventilation system.In a number of critical areas within the building, including the energy intensive vivarium cage and rackwashing room, automated systems will sense when active washing is taking place. During periodsbetween wash cycles, the volume of conditioned air supplied to the cage and rack washing room willbe automatically reduced, effectively reducing the energy cost of the building.

As this project is a continuation of the existing vivarium spaces and fit out of the remaining shelled space in the building, the project connects to all existing air handling, plumbing, electrical and fireprotections systems. No new systems are added and the existing energy efficiency measures will bemaintained.

The indoor lighting system will consist primarily of LED lighting fixtures and the lighting controls willconsist of low-voltage switches controlled by programmable low-voltage switching and dimming relaysthrough the existing U-M Siemens lighting system.

Alumni Center Renovation

Project Description

The approximately 34,000-gross-square-foot Alumni Center, designed by architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen,was constructed in 1982 and is considered an iconic and significant building on campus. The AlumniAssociation of the University of Michigan proposes to renovate the basement, first, and second floors to improve public entry and circulation and to increase the capacity of staff workspace to accommodate staffrelocated from off-site leased space. A small 350-gross-square-foot addition on the west side of the building isalso proposed to create a new entrance. The scope of this project includes the architectural, electrical,mechanical and structural work necessary to accomplish these improvements.

Energy Efficiency MeasuresAddition of energy efficient glazing at new vestibulesAll new mechanical and electrical system components will be low energy useAll new lighting will be LED

Other Sustainability FeaturesAddition of a vestibule at the west entryAddition of a vestibule at the south entrySelection of materials with low or zero VOCsAll new plumbing fixtures will be low water use fixturesNew furniture, furnishings and equipment will be locally sourced, wherever possibleNew layout of spaces is such that it brings either direct or borrowed natural light



Central Campus Classroom Building and the Alexander G. Ruthven Building Renovation

Project DescriptionRuthven was designed by notable architect Albert Kahn and constructed in 1928. We propose the renovationand reuse of the 1928 building (approximately 135,000 gross square feet) that is well suited to house drylaboratory computational research space, an approximately 200-person capacity multipurpose room, andadministrative space to house the university's central administration that is currently located in the FlemingAdministration Building. We propose to demolish the 1964 addition consisting of approximately 34,000 grosssquare feet that does not allow for large active learning-style classrooms, and in its place construct a newbuilding of approximately 100,000 gross square feet for active learning classrooms, including an auditoriumthat will seat approximately 550 students, with total building classroom capacity in excess of 1,400 students.

Energy Efficiency MeasuresThe building’s design and systems will include a number of energy efficient features that will allow foran energy savings that is greater than an energy code compliant building as defined in ASHRAE 90.1-2013 Appendix GGlazing U-Value and SHGC to exceed ASHRAE 90.1-2013 minimumWall and roof r-values to exceed ASHRAE 90.1-2013 minimumDemand controlled ventilation and CO2 sensors in high occupancy spacesAir handling units to include enthalpy wheels that precondition outdoor air Chilled beam HVAC system in the Ruthven renovationAir handling units serving the chilled beam system will include a second desiccant wheelUnderfloor air distribution system in large auditorium to maximize ventilation efficiencyLow velocity air distribution systems to reduce fan energy use (also acoustics)

Other Sustainability FeaturesThis project is registered under the LEED® green building certification program with the certificationgoal of LEED Silver. This project with use the LEED v4 Building Design and Construction-NewConstruction rating system.Project site is located near public and U-M bus routes to encourage use of public transitA 20% water consumption savings beyond Michigan Plumbing Code is anticipated; savings will beobtained through the use of low floor fixturesFinishes and furnishings will be selected with low VOCsLocal and regional building materials will be sought wherever possible



Central Power Plant Expansion

Project DescriptionThe Central Power Plant is a highly efficient natural gas co-generation facility providing steam heat andelectrical power to most central and medical campus buildings. The electricity is generated from steam thatotherwise would be wasted, resulting in an overall efficiency of approximately 80 percent that is much higherthan most power plants. This project will construct a 12,000-gross-square-foot building addition (see attachedsite map and rendering) to house a new 15-megawatt combustion turbine that will reduce the university'sgreenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 80,000 tons per year. This reduction will be approximately halfwaytoward the university goal of reducing total emissions for the Ann Arbor campus by 25 percent by the year2025. The project will incorporate all appropriate pollution control technologies, and the required air emissionspermit for the project has been approved by the State of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. Weestimate a loss of approximately eight business and service parking spaces as a result of this project.

Sustainability FeaturesThe plant's cogeneration system produces half the emissions as the conventional method of deliveringthe same energy: utility-generated plus electricity plus separately produced steam for heat. The CPPproduces steam to provide heat and electricity. By using heat that would otherwise be wasted, thesystem has an overall efficiency of 70-80 percent.The project is consistent with the state of Michigan Energy Office and the city of Ann Arbor's ClimateAction Plan, both of which recommend expansion of co-generation as part of the future energy mixLow-VOC adhesives and sealants, paints and coatings, and flooring systems will be used.LED lighting will be utilized throughout the new expansion.



Dean Road Transportation Facility

Project DescriptionThe Transportation Services Building on the Stephen M. Ross Athletic Campus houses the bus and motorpool vehicle maintenance functions of Logistics, Transportation and Parking (LTP). Since its construction in1974, the LTP bus fleet has grown45 percent and we now transport more than seven million riders per yearon U-M buses. LTP proposes the construction of a new approximately 70,000-gross-square-foot operationsand maintenance building that can accommodate larger articulated buses, and heavy equipment, and meetcurrent safety guidelines for vehicle maintenance, circulation, and appropriate work zones. The design willinclude the capability to maintain electric buses for sustainability improvements if desired in the future. Thenew facility will be located at the site of the University Laundry Building that serves patient care facilities ofMichigan Medicine. That building will be demolished after Michigan Medicine has a fully operational laundry atan off-campus location. The university’s auto and truck fleet maintenance will remain on the Stephen M. RossAthletic Campus. There will be no additional bus traffic on Green Road resulting from this project. Weanticipate this new location will save approximately $100,000 per year from increased bus operationalefficiency since many routes begin on North Campus.

Central Power Plant Feed Water System Deaerator Upgrade

Project DescriptionRevised to assist with the expedited removal of a generator for repair and reinstallation. All financial obligations for the project were finalized Jul-16.

The Central Power Plant (CPP) provides steam for the heating and cooling of many buildings on CentralCampus, and also uses the steam produced to generate electricity. This co-generation allows for a veryefficient operation and the Environmental Protection Agency has recognized our efforts in efficiency, fuelenergy savings, and greenhouse gas emission reduction. The CPP’s feed water system includes deaeratorsthat remove oxygen from water as part of the steam generation process. This project replaced two 1940'sdeaerators with two modem deaerators meeting current industry standards. Each deaerator weighsapproximately 140,000 pounds when filled, measuring 18 feet in diameter and 20 feet in length. An existing decommissioned boiler was removed, including abatement of lead and asbestos, to provide space for the newsystem. The new equipment will yield higher-quality water and increase boiler system efficiency, reliability, lifeexpectancy, and redundancy. It will also result in reduced boiler corrosion, component failure, andmaintenance.

Energy Efficiency MeasuresGHG emissions reduced by improving steam-generating efficiencyNew deaerators improve the quality of feedwater to keep boiler surfaces clean and free from corrosionand scaling; thereby improving heat transfer; resulting in less fossil fuels used to generate the steamUpdated deaerator monitoring system and controls minimize potential inefficiencies or upsets, therebyminimizing use of fuels or production of GHGs

Mobility Transformation Facility

Project DescriptionThe project will include the site clearing, grading, infrastructure and roadways for a four-lane 1,000-footstraight asphalt road, merge lanes, a network of asphalt and concrete urban streets, roundabout, traffic circle,crushed-gravel road segment, concrete calibration pad, service road connecting to the UMTRI parking lot,storage lot, security fencing around the entire site, covered pavilion, lighting, and electrical and networkinginfrastructure. This project also includes landscaping and storm water management, with a bridge, culverts,and bank stabilization to minimize wetland impacts adjacent to Millers Creek. The College of Engineering andUMTRI will be responsible for the future installation of site accessories that are not included in this project.Over time, these accessories may include building facades placed onto foundations to simulate urban streets,street signs and trusses for overhead highway signage, roadway and pedestrian lights, railroad crossings,traffic signals, benches, traffic barrels, mock fire hydrants, and other devices necessary to simulate a realisticdriving environment.

The Mobility Transformation Facility, although not comprising a building, included several sustainabilitymeasures to lessen the impact on the environment. These measures include:

No heating or cooling load requiredNo domestic water or sewage usesNo landscape irrigationPrairie seed mix instead of lawnFour stormwater quality control unitsStormwater peak flow controlsStabilization of Millers Creek stream banksReduced lighting within security fenceConstruction waste management

No heating or cooling load requiredAs this project does not comprise a building, no heating or cooling is required, with its associated energy consumption and maintenance efforts. The entire facility is located outdoors, allowing for vehicle testingthrough all weather conditions.

No domestic water or sewage usesAs this project does not comprise a building, there is not domestic water or sewage use required, with site occupants generally using the adjacent UMTRI building as needed. These occupants would otherwise beusing facilities in their respective office buildings so there is not additional domestic or sewage load with thisproject, eliminating the associated energy uses, groundwater drawdowns, and potential leaks of additionalpiping. A future sporadic use of a rainwater simulator is planned, but will draw from a groundwater well to eliminate the need for treating and long-distance piping of domestic water.

No landscape irrigationThe project is designed with no landscape irrigation planned. Species are selected for their drought toleranceto ensure survival through dry summer periods. This will reduce unnecessary water and energy use.

Prairie seed mix instead of lawn94% of the disturbed unpaved site area is seeded with prairie mix instead of lawn, allowing for native oradapted species to thrive with minimal, mowing, fertilization, and pesticides, and provide habitat for wildlife



Mobility Transformation Facilitywhile treating and absorbing stormwater.

Stormwater quality controlsAll stormwater on the site flows through a filtration basin, a vegetated swale, or a vegetated filter strip to treat contaminants. Additionally, all water falling on paved surfaces are treated with swirl concentrator chambers to ensure 80% Total Suspended Solids removal in the90% excedance events, through engineered measuresthat function fully throughout winter. Additionally, U-M-OSEH and MDEQ soil erosion and sedimentationcontrols are implemented.

Stormwater peak flow controlsSite stormwater is routed through a detention basin to ensure that the peak flow rate from the project enteringMillers Creek is reduced below existing conditions for the 1-year, 2-year, 10-year, and 100-year storms.

Stabilization of Millers Creek stream banksAs a part of this project the portion of Millers Creek passing adjacent to the test track was armored to prevent future erosion and stream migration. Additionally, one area with a blown out culvert was restored with graded back slopes, and another damaged culvert was repaired, which will reduce soil migration.

Reduced lighting within security fenceLighting on the main access drive from UMTRI is installed to U-M minimum access standards, and photocellcontrolled. While an extensive set of varying commonly-used light and traffic signal fixtures are installedwithin the secured MTF perimeter for vehicle testing purposes, they are turned off when not in use, and theMTF is metered separately and billed to the users to provide an extra incentive to reduce energy consumptionwhen not required. The only lighting fixtures that are on during nighttime hours when the experimentalfixtures are turned off are four solar-powered security lights installed throughout the secured perimeter.

Northwood Apartments I, II, and III Fire Alarm and Boiler Upgrades

Project DescriptionConstructed between 1955 and 1958, the Northwood Apartments I, II, and III are an approximately419,000-gross-square-foot, 58-building complex on North Campus with 686 units housing student families.The existing stand-alone smoke detectors will be upgraded with a new central fire alarm system to meetcurrent life safety standards. The project will also replace the hot water boilers to improve operating efficiency,reduce energy use, and provide increased reliability for the heating system.

Energy Efficiency MeasuresExisting heating hot water boilers replaced with noticeably more efficient condensing unitsThe expected efficiency improvement increased from an existing thermal efficiency likely no greaterthan 75%, to a minimum efficiency of 85; and to values exceeding 95% in the spring and fall whenmilder outdoor temperatures allow lower HWHS temperatures to be usedNew boilers furnished with modern controls to perform the lead/lag function automatically. This willinsure only the required number of boilers are operating for any given load, ramping up and downseasonally, daily and hourly to reflect the varying outdoor temperatures throughout the year. The newcontrols insure that the best combination of boilers are running under any given load, with a continuedfocus on condensing whenever possible.A key control function provided with each boiler group is monitoring of the Outside Air Temperature (OAT) at all times. Milder temperatures result in less heat loss from the buildings. This lower heatdemand is met by circulating lower temperature HWH. Lower HWH temperatures allow thecondensing boilers to operate in the highly efficient condensing mode.The automatic lead/lag boiler operation, along with the OAT continuous reset of the HWH supplytemperature insures that only the required amount of natural gas is used under all of the varyingsystem loads.Boiler burner controls specified with a 5:1turndown which allows each boiler to remain in efficientoperation down to 20% of full load. Additionally, one of the three boilers will be half the size of the other two. This boiler group configuration creates the ability for each of the five sites to turn down to10% of full load. The composite 10:1turndown means that only at seasonal loads less than 10%would require the smallest boiler to go into an on/off cycling mode; saving additional energy.Existing heating hot water system distribution pumps replaced with units driven by variable speeddrives (VSDs), which represents electric power savings, as this feature allows the system to circulateonly the minimum amount of water necessary to meet the load.

Palmer Drive Development

Project DescriptionThe Palmer Drive Development at the University of Michigan consists of a complex of buildings at thesouthwest corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Huron Street. The new buildings included in this developmentare:

Life Sciences Institute BuildingPalmer Drive Parking StructureCommons BuildingUndergraduate Science Building

The Life Sciences Institute Building (LSI) consists of six floors and a mechanical penthouse to provide"wet" research laboratory and support spaces, core laboratory areas, principal investigators offices, interactionspaces, administrative offices for the Life Sciences Institute, a combination gallery/lobby space, and a smalllibrary. The 235,000 gross square feet building houses 325 to 375 people. The Palmer Drive ParkingStructure accommodates approximately 1,000 parking spaces. The Commons Building providesconference space and dining facilities. A Department of Public Safety neighborhood office is located here, as well as academic offices. The building is 99,000 gross square feet. The Undergraduate Science Building(USB) is located on top of the Palmer Drive Parking Structure. The four-story building houses instructionalspace and laboratories for undergraduates particularly in the sciences. All of these buildings are tied together with a new walkway and plaza. This provides a safe, direct circulation path between Central Campus and theMedical Campus.

Energy Efficiency MeasuresThe LSI Building and USB initiated U-M efforts to deploy energy-saving strategies specifically tailoredto laboratory buildings.LSI was both a local and regional ASHRAE Technology Award winner and received nationalHonorable Mention for its design innovations.LSI’s vivarium animal cages are directly connected to the building HVAC system, with VAV boxescontrolling the supply and exhaust air. This system minimizes the quantities of air required in theanimal holding spaces, allows for maintenance access from outside the holding areas, maximizes thespace utilization within the rooms, and provides for lighter, more movable animal holding racks. It alsoprovides better isolation between room air and the air in the animal cages, which should result in acleaner, more odor-free environment. It is believed that this is one of the first operational “house air”systems in the country for vivariums.A heat recovery system in LSI, significantly reduces the amount of heat loss while also meeting the laboratory safety criterion of passing through the building only once.All air handlers are variable air volume units. Also, motors and pumps are operated through variable speed drives.LSI has two separately pumped perimeter heat systems which divide the building into north and southzones and control the temperature as appropriate for each exposure.Walls and roof are insulated above code requirements.Insulated low-E energy efficient glazing is used throughout the buildings.Occupancy sensors are used to turn down lighting during periods when spaces are unoccupied.



Palmer Drive DevelopmentExtremely efficient open plan laboratory design minimizes the amount of circulation space required inthe building. The open plan will also accommodate changes in laboratory uses with less constructionwaste and disruption than traditional closed laboratory spaces.Carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring in many areas of the LSI building reduces the amount of outside airwhen spaces are unoccupied, thus saving the energy to heat and cool the outside air.

Other Sustainability FeaturesDay lighting is well distributed throughout the buildings. The exterior walls contain large windows, andthe ceiling heights are tall enough to admit a large amount of daylight. In LSI most workstations arelocated within the first 10 feet from the exterior wall providing natural daylight for the lab researchersthat are in the labs all day.Sustainable growth wood is used for much of the project’s woodwork, including the extensivewainscoting in virtually all of the public areas.This project is located within a rehabilitated brown field site, formerly occupied by an underdevelopedimpervious surface parking area.A one million gallon storm water detention system, located below the parking garage, alleviates the persistent flooding problems in the area and allows for controlled release of storm water.The numerous exhaust fans on the roof were designed to function without increasing perceptible noiseto the 4000 occupants of the residence halls located within 500 feet.The site, containing both an old glacial lake and a 35-foot elevation change, was one of the lastunderdeveloped areas on Central Campus because of its challenged topography. The siting andplanning of this complex takes advantage of the development density already present in the arearather than promoting remote development that would contribute to traffic congestion, vehicularpollution and less efficient distribution of services and utilities.Bike racks are provided throughout the complex and shower rooms were included in LSI.LSI and USB utilize a pollution prevention approach to reduce the amount of chemicals being usedand disposed of as waste.
